Steve,
 Some time ago, Tim Kientzle uploaded his latest port of TeX and LaTeX to that
other place where a lot of OS9 types hang out.  This is a pretty complete
typesetting system for OS9. It includes Metafont (font building program), and
`dvips', which converts the TeX `DVI' output files to PostScript and allows
other PostScript files to be included in the final document, which can then be
printed on a PostScript printer, or (via Ghostscript) previewed on the MM/1 and
printed on most any decent printer.

 Tim K. included three versions of the main executable files in the archive,
for small, medium, and large memory machines. His install script and
instructions make it easy to install and run - but reference books on TeX and
LaTeX are recommended.

 I can run things on my MM/1 and DeskJet and Epson that look like they came
from a print shop.

 The good news: I can upload it here.

 The bad news: Tarred and Zipped, its 2.27 MEGAbytes long.

 Can you find that much room in Lib 12?
